ONEXBUS is expanding with a new route to help connect Port Elgin residents over into London.
The new route by Ontario Express Bus will run on weekends with departures from London to Port Elgin at 5pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday with a return to Port Elgin from London at 6:30am on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Debi Wilson with ONEXBUS says this route addresses a need for service in the area to get people to and from the hospital.
“Originally my idea was to try and connect the communities to the hospital here because there is nothing in the area right now to get people to and from the hospital but along the way we’ve also realized there is a large Mennonite community that likes to travel but doesn’t have transportation.” said Wilson.
There is plans to extend the service into weekdays as they are aware of the demand for service.
